Charmed Channing: Magic Mike Review

Kimball and Killough decide to strip down to the basics with their video review of MAGIC MIKE. As Killough says in the review, “If Matthew Macconaughey can take his shirt off, so can I… he’s close to my age. Or my age in my Manhunt profile.”

Production: The magician produces something from nothing a rabbit from an empty hat, a fan of cards from thin air, a shower of coins from an empty bucket, a dove from a pan, or the magician him or herself, appearing in a puff of smoke on an empty stage all of these effects are productions.

Welcome back to the film reviews, guys! But Pasolini? Visconti? Really? I'm sure it was fun but do you think you might have got carried away a bit? You'll probably say the same thing, though, when you eventually see my Milan Fashion Week round-up.
Good work!

Just learned the hard, deeply embarrassing way that wiggling your fingers in a down-came-the-rain motion from Eensie Weensie Spider is NOT improvised international sign language for "Is it still raining outside?"

So hard for me as an American in Vietnam to resist beginning every conversation with, "Terribly sorry for what we did. It was horrific, a tragic mistake. So, I'll start with the Mién hài sàn, then as a main course..."

Thai driver: "You both have beautiful color eyes. But can you see clearly with them like we do? If I show you to my nephew he think you are vampires from Twilight movie." It's not racism if you're compared to undead emo adolescents with potentially murky vision.

Let's face it, Western food is cowardly with flavors and boring, even at its most "gourmet" pretentious. Imagine if a Thai or Vietnamese tire company gave out coveted, make-or-break stars. Would any restaurant west of the Khyber Pass get one? #culturalimperialism
